Projection: need to automatically qualify

Oral Roberts' resume points straight to an automatic bid as the clearest path to the national tournament. The nonconference ledger is defined more by damaging road blowouts at major conference opponents like Oklahoma State and Oklahoma and poor showings at TCU and Missouri State than it is by signature victories, with its best nonconference moment a neutral-site win over Kennesaw and its most useful midseason result a home win over Montana State. The team has virtually no meaningful success away from home against quality foes and a succession of lopsided road losses, including trips to Weber State and FGCU, that undercuts any at-large case. The rest of the Summit League slate contains home opportunities and a few road tests against lower-tier conference rivals, but not the kind of marquee, neutral-site or road win the selection committee prizes, so the most realistic route to the field is to secure the conference’s automatic spot.
